Anker’s Prime 20,100mAh power bank is down to $126, the kind of price that finally makes a serious laptop-grade battery worth the jump from a basic phone charger. While Amazon has this listed with an $180 MSRP, we’ve most frequently seen it cap at about $150, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that its current price is the best we’ve seen.
This is not a pocket top-up brick that you’ll carry to refresh your phone battery. It’s a proper portable power source that you’ll have to tuck away in your bag to ensure you won’t need an outlet while you’re working remotely.
The best part about this power bank is its 220W total output, split across two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. One USB-C port can deliver up to 140W on its own, which is enough to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50 percent in under half an hour with the right cable. Since there are multiple ports available, you can charge your laptop, phone, and earbuds at the same time without issue.
The 20,100mAh capacity is the other half of the equation. It’s large enough to extend a laptop’s use time through a long flight or a full day of remote work. With the MacBook’s already-fantastic battery life, this will come in handy if you choose to leave your charger at home or can’t find an outlet.
The power bank comes with a 240W USB-C cable that can handle the necessary output. There’s even a travel pouch included, which will come in handy when you take it on flights, for instance, or to protect your tech from scratches when you pack it in your backpack.
Before buying it, you do need to know that it’s on the heavier side. It’s also large enough that you won’t be able to slip it into your pocket. So, if you want something that has a large capacity but is more geared towards smartphones, so you can carry it around easier, the Anker Zolo with a 20,000mAh capacity and 30W charging speed is available for $34 (was $43).
At $126, Aner’s laptop power bank is an easy recommendation, so hurry and get it before the deal expires.
